Vasco Da Gama and the Linking of Europe and AsiaAnthony R. Disney, Emily Booth This volume of thirty-one essays provides a thorough re-evaluation of Vasco Da Gama's voyage, the circumstances surrounding it, and its short- and long-term economic, cultural, political, and religious significance. The book challenges the view that Portuguese influence in maritime Asia was only minor. |
